PHOTOGRAPHS ofofof MINNEAPOLIS LAWYERS From the Minneapolis Newspaper Photograph Collection Hennepin County Library Part One Preface By Douglas A. Hedin Editor, MLHP There are several thousand photographs in the Minneapolis Newspaper Photograph Collection at the Hennepin County Library. While most were taken in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, a few from earlier and later days slipped in. All are in black and white. They illustrated articles in city newspapers during these decades on a wide range of subjects: politics, sports, crimes, pageants and ceremonies, the military, society, weddings, funerals and much more. There are over 100 photographs of lawyers in the Collection, and several dozen are posted here. It is obvious that many are portraits taken by professional photographers and given to the newspapers for use in articles. Others show lawyers at work. They do not appear in any partic- ular order. The description of each photograph in the Collection lists the name of the lawyer, the date or year of the photograph and sometimes the name of the newspaper where it was published or studio where it was taken. A few have the caption of the photo when it was first published or refer to the event where it was taken. This information is posted below each photo. In some photographs I have added information about the lawyer such as the date he was admitted to the bar. This is taken from the Roll of Attorneys (1858-1870) kept by the Minnesota Supreme Court and available online through the Minnesota Reflections website. The credit for each photograph is to the Hennepin County Library. By making these photographs available without charge to the public, the Hennepin County Library follows the practice and policy of the Library of Congress. It is an extraordinary public service. Additional albums of photographs of lawyers and judges from this Collection will be posted on the MLHP at a later date. • 2 Alfred Jaques U. S.
